Nswrl vs nrl records

[King Salvo]

A lot of fuss will be made if Storms win's next week vs Parra to go 20 games unbeaten and overtake the Chook 19 in a row record from 1975.

Should NSWRL and NRL records be separate as they are different comps. One could also argue that QRL (the Old Brisbane comp) records should be included as well if NSWRL one's are.

My View is

Chook holds the NSWRL record for most consecutive games won - 19

Storms will hold the NRL record for most consecutive games won - what ever that figure will be

[ROC181]

I think Parra will get them next week. No Record for Storm ! That excellent Mitchell Moses will have a blinder after he gets his room with an en suite and a balcony.

[Bruce Pickett]

No, they should be combined. NRL evolved from the NSWRL not QRL. QRL were not involved at all.

i think they should be combined - it gives a sense of the game's history but it's a given that comparing eras is difficult at best.
the storm's performance this year is phenomenal - what a pity if we're able to knock them off in the finals

[The Skeez]

It’s first grade, so they should all be together.

I’ve got more issue with Newcastle claiming 1997 as a full premiership. For whatever reason, you don’t hear much about Brisbane’s Super League title over the Sharks. Perhaps because of the charmed 15 year run they had?

There should be a third option to separate the pre-2020 NRL from the current Oztag version.

[Tommy Smith]

It should be just the one record.

Let the Storm's achievement, on the back of perhaps the greatest player of the NRL era retiring the season before, stand as lasting testament to just how awful and mediocre the 2021 V'landys Ball Touch Cup has been.

The top three of the Storm, Panthers and Rabbits are a combined 51-3 vs the rest of the competition. And I would argue that neither are truly great footy sides. I mean the Rabbits are 3rd with an 18-3 record. They're masquerading as a great footy side when in actual fact they got flogged by 50 by each of the top 2 and have just been flat track bullying the rest of this miserable competition.

Roosters games aside, I'm personally just looking forward to the offseason so I can forget that this shitshow of an NRL season ever existed.

[Mickie Lane]

Records are made to be broken.
Melbourne are a super club with a great roster but I must say the Roosters 74 or 75 team was better. I dont say that because I go for the Chooks its because blokes like Artie, Walters, Coote, Peard, Brass, Mullins, Schubert, Harris, Mayes & Ian Mackay were all Australian Kangaroos.

[ccfc bondi]

No, they should all be inclusive as NRL & NSWRL. The Storm have equalled the record and that's that, even allowing for the fact that as has been said, it is testament to the touch football V'landys has delivered us. The 1975 Roosters (who I had the privilege of seeing play many times) played under rules that made it harder to get out of your own half, let alone pile on points. No luxury of six agains, defences struggling to get back 10 metres, seven tackle 20 metre re-starts, or even 20 metre re-starts for that matter, if you managed to catch the ball on the full behind your goal line....it was straight to the posts for a goal-line drop-out back then. And leather balls that weighed a ton in the rain and no dimples to stop you dropping it.

But what SHOULD be looked at is point-scoring records. Tries used to be worth three points and field goals (well, they've totally screwed with that!) were worth two. 1975 Grand Final 38-0 should still stand as a record given that their 8 tries and 7 goals would've scored 46 points today.

PS. Thanks for nothin', Titans!!

It should all be counted, it's all under first grade.

I find it strange people change how they feel on what record we are talking about.
They will say the storm record on games won in a row is only for the NRL era but will say we have won 15 grand finals, so have we won 4 or 15 grand finals as most of them were before the NRL era.
Do we say we never won the ARL comp as we never won it under that era, to me it's 15.

Agree it's all the same we can't cherry pick records to suit us. Just got to doff your cap at the Storm and say well done but it will lose its significance if they don't win the comp.
I think it says a lot about the quality or lack of in the competition that you have the Storm breaking records and the Panthers long streak last year along with Souths breaking records this year.
There's a very long tail on the ladder in terms of good football teams

[milanja]

It’s a record that only gets talked about when somebody goes close to breaking it, which isn’t very often, it’s nice to have, but in reality, not too many really care about it.

if a team containing Cronk,billy and cam smith couldn’t get the record, it’s speaks more about Bellamy being maybe the greatest coach we have seen, along with how poor a season 2021 has become with the new rules and poor quality of teams.

Do you add the Ill Dragon comp won to that of St George Dragon or Magpie and Tiger comps won to that of West Tiger

You can have it like in the UK have separate tallies for Championships won when it was the First Division and now as the EPL

The figure below is good though

NRL Comps won

Chook - 4

Rabbit - 1

[Waylander]

If your going treat all records the same, then they need to be seperate. You can’t compare point scoring records from the 3 point try era to todays game. Even the 2 point field goal from outside the 40 changes things.

[The Sack]

As long as they calculate the Roosters 38-0 win over the Dragons as the highest scoring Grand Final win, convert the tries from 3 to 4 points, Roosters still have that record as far as I am concerned.
